i'm am going to force myself to keep this short and limited ...
yesterday was the orientation for the interpreting program...
my interview is April 18th 10:00am... i'm already nervous.my mind was spent from exercises all day... if any of you want to try one, watch a tv show, any tv show, and repeat aloud everything being said, while you are doing this write down numbers in spanish, or french, or farsi, or italian... it doesn't matter. when you reach 100, start over and count by 2s, then by 3s, etc... the simultaneous activity helps to train your brain for multitasking while distracted, like the skills neccessary for interpreting. and there you go. I assure you, it is quite entertaining if you try with friends and don't let yourself get frustrated.

i have been saying all kinds of things that have been misunderstood lately. "to the pure all things are pure" ...i keep telling myself... but still... on sunday i was with dear friends and when saying goodbye made a comment that had more meanings that i intended... it wouldn't be as funny now, but at the time i was mortified...
last night in ASL my prof was changing subjects and i noticed a phrase i did not know how to sign on the list in front of me. I asked her, as is the custom, and she showed me. most of the class was not paying attention and so she asked me to voice the sign for those who were now confused with what she was doing. so I complied and immediately calmly voiced "piss-off" while my classmates looked at me crosseyed. i must admit, it was funny. FYI: speaking in ASL class is beyond prohibited... it will get you kicked out of class, especially when the prof is Deaf, as mine is. She occasionally asks students to voice something, but for those not paying attention...it was funny. like those "don't judge too quickly" commercials.
note to all: call your friends. they miss you.
...and on a special note: Corey Wright, i am not longer jealous you went to that Ailey class without me... they are comming here next week... and i will be enjoying "Revelations" on wednesday night. ...it shall make me miss you even more.

What is ASL? Im guessing its sign language of some sort. I did a course in British Sign Language, it was so much fun.
